A Barbie Who Speaks ASL?

I don't know if you knew there was a barbie doll that had one of her hands shapped

into the ASL sign for "I love you."  She's standard barbie face and stuff but she

is black and one is white but it says that barbie comes with:

Cling on board with reusable vinyl sign pictures, and it  is a chalkboard, too. Inside of

package unfolds into a classroom scene.

NOTE to PARENTS: Sign Language Barbie doll was developed in consultation with the

National Center on Deafness at California State University, Nortridge.

She's expensive, 86 dollars plus but I think the black one is prettier because her

skin coloring looks like that of a black/hispanic person.  Here's the link
